30-Minute Warning XX

What can I write here under 30 minutes?

Wow. The past 2 days have been my busiest workdays ever since I started working for my family’s company, and now I’m tired. I almost chose to blog using my smartphone because I have been using my laptop all day, but I changed my mind. And now here I am, writing on The Diary.

Yesterday, I learned how to make proposals and it was a doozy. I encountered so many numbers during the learning process, so it was hard for me at first. But I’m thankful for Younger Brother guiding me along the way. Thank you, brother. And I also ordered some materials from one of our suppliers. (Something I’m familiar with already.)

As for other things that happened yesterday, well… I got my affogato fix at my favorite cafe Satchmi. The combination of salted caramel ice cream and espresso gave me the boost I needed, so I was fine learning something new like making a proposal. Thank you, my favorite spot. Thank you.

Today, I ordered a different material from a different supplier and then worked on last month’s billings. I didn’t finish the latter, but I will be able to finish it tomorrow. (That’s 2 days of billing work instead of my usual 3 to 4. I think that’s an accomplishment.)

What else? Oh! I’m still uncertain when I will go to Japan with my family, but I’m sure it will be June 2024. Wait. I already said that in an old post. But oh my God. I’m excited! (I think you can tell because I repeated it?)

And time’s up.

Song of the Moment XXI: Finger Eleven’s “Slow Chemical”

I’m supposed to run errands today, but they were rescheduled for tomorrow. Thank goodness for avoiding errands at least today because today’s temperature outside is 35°C. 35-fucking-degrees-celsius. It feels hotter than that though, but good grief.

After writing that, I’m dreading tomorrow, and tomorrow’s weather could be worse. I must endure the heat while I run errands. (Yes, I will bring my umbrella when I walk on the street. But what if I go to an establishment with A/C problems? I must expect the worst.)

And I can imagine Kane (kayfabe half-brother of The Undertaker) making the temperature worse when he walks through the entire city and flames burst from concrete. That is why my current Song of the Moment is “Slow Chemical” by Finger Eleven, one of Kane’s theme songs.

Happy humid Monday. And no, I’m not in the mood to write an April Fools’ Day post today. Maybe next year.

10-Minute Warning CX

I just finished my 1-hour walking and jogging at Three Trees, and it feels so good. But it was a shame that my last walk/jog was last March 4, Sunday. Damn. I need to jog and walk more often like I used to; I usually jog and walk 2 to 3 more times a week.

What else happened today? Oh, the usual work day: I worked on some billings and then I went to Ortigas to submit something… and since I’m in Ortigas, I dropped by my favorite cafe Satchmi and ordered my favorite affogato. Yes. I have done one of my weekly rituals this early (a Monday afternoon)… I might go back this weekend? I will see about that.

And… that’s it. That’s all I can say for today. ‘Til the next post!
